Bridging Software

Making Tax Digital (MTD)

Bridging software is a digital tool used to send data from the VAT return (boxes 1-9) within a spreadsheet to HMRC’s Government Gateway.CHM Software is the solution for those businesses still opting to use spreadsheets for MTD VAT mainly for one of the following reasons:

More comfortable using excel.

Have complex VAT areas such as the margin scheme, capital goods scheme or partial exemption.

Have non-API enabled software which can report to excel (such as Sage 50, Chairman and others).

Part of a VAT group.

Don’t want to move to an expensive bookkeeping package.

Bridging software is a digital tool used to send data from the VAT return (boxes 1-9) within a spreadsheet to HMRC’s Government Gateway. Our bridging tool is a Macro-enabled excel spreadsheet which will require linking each time you need to file a VAT return. It can also be embedded into your own spreadsheet should you prefer.

See how it works in our short video below…

This simple bridging tool will enable any individual or agent to submit the Box 9 VAT return to HMRC as required under MTD VAT from their own excel spreadsheet for only £7.50 + VAT per return.

Link or embed to any existing spreadsheet or spreadsheets exported from non-API enabled accounting software (non MTD compliant) using our step by step guide on how to link.

Once linked up VAT return data and entered VAT details, press submit.

The VAT return data will then be sent securely to our web portal for secure filing.
